An “armed and dangerous” suspect linked to three murders and several other crimes is on the run in Arkansas, according to authorities.
Stacy Lee Drake, 50, is wanted for three homicides in Oklahoma, resulting from two carjackings, says Arkansas State Police.
“Drake is also wanted on multiple felony warrants from different places, with charges including aggravated robbery, carjacking, and murder,” investigators said.
The Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation provided more details about two of the murders in Sequoyah County. Officers found a man and woman dead inside a business on Tuesday. The victims’ names have not been released yet.
Although the exact causes of death are still being determined, Oklahoma investigators said both had injuries that suggest homicide.
Drake was last seen walking near a motel in Morrilton, Arkansas, about 53 miles northwest of Little Rock. Oklahoma investigators said a car he allegedly stole was found in Morrilton, around 130 miles east of where the bodies were found in Sequoyah County, Oklahoma, on Tuesday night.
Later on Wednesday, investigators said Drake had bought camping gear and is likely still in the Morrilton area.
Drake, from Birmingham, Alabama, is described as having brown hair and brown eyes, standing about 5 feet 11 inches tall, and weighing 185 pounds, according to state police.
